This is no big deal. This has happen a lot. First round draft choices, especially Q.B.s have done this for many years. The star 1st round player offers compensation to the veteran player. Sometime he accepts it and many times he does not. This has happened in this case. Ryan said he has done many excellent things in his career with Green Bay with #8 on is jersey, but he will see what Aaron's offer is. Ryan is a great person and I don't thinlk he was offended by the Rookie. I think Ryan will keep his number, and Aaron will wear #12 and have to wait a while. Longwell's contract is coming up soon and he wants to be paid more money for his skills of kicking so well in the winter conditions in Lambeau Field. The Packers will probably compensate him handsomely for his F.G. acuracy, unless it is cap buster amount. Then there could be a problem. Hopefully Ryan will be reasonable, and of coarse doesn't have a Drew Rosenhaus type agent. I think,Ryan likes it in G.B. and appreciates the Packers giving him a chance after the 49ers cut him. But then again most times, it is about THE MONEY!!!!!
